International Blue Color – #002fa7: Codes and Complete Breakdown

This is the canonical hex for International Klein Blue, the ultramarine Yves Klein registered in 1960 after working out a matte resin binder with paint dealer Edouard Adam. Klein wanted the raw pigment’s glow preserved rather than dulled by oil. It remains one of the few colors an artist can reasonably claim to have invented.
